General information about the measuring device

The FLOWSIC900 F9L-XXXY is an ultrasonic flow meter for measuring the volume of liquified natural gas (LNG) and low viscosity oil. It is based on the measurement of the runtimes of ultrasonic pulses along several measuring paths. The meter consists of the following assemblies:

• NMi-3978954-01 dated 10 September 2025 that includes 14 pages.

• One meter body with a straight pipe section with 4 or 8 ultrasonic measuring paths.

• Two ultrasonic transducers per measuring path, where the two transducers both serve as transmitters and receivers,

• The signal processing unit (SPU) separated from the meter body with the measurement electronics for excitation and processing of the transducer signals, the interface electronic and the display.

Production location

The measuring instrument is produced at one of the following production locations:

Endress+Hauser SICK GmbH+Co. KG, Bergener Ring 27,01458 Ottendorf-Okrilla, Germany

Further characteristics

• Component exchange

The following components can be exchanged with an identical component without the need of a re-calibration of the measuring device:

• Electronics module

The electronics module is always completely replaced with a new module. All boards, making up the electronics module, are replaced in this step and never the individual boards alone. After replacement, the settings of the old electronics module need to be loaded into the new module with the exception of the following parameters, as these are module specific: timeoffset electronic and timedifference electronic. These parameters need to be set to the correct value corresponding with the new essential components FPE1-ANAB and FPE1-DIGI.

• Transducers

The transducers are always replaced in pairs which form the acoustic path. After the replacement the following parameter settings shall be updated in the electronics:

• Length of transducer A and B.

• Timeoffset and timedifference of the transducer pair.

• Transducer cables

The cables between the transducer(s) and the electronics can be replaced with new cables without the need of parameter adjustment.

• Terminal board

The essential terminal board sensor FPE1-TB_S can be replaced with a new board without the need of parameter adjustment.

The exchange of components can only be performed after breaking a seal.

Seals

• The inscriptions are fixed to the measuring device and secured against removal by seal or it will be destroyed when removed.

The following seals are applied:

• The housing of the remote signal processing unit is sealed against opening.

Before sealing, the metrological relevant parameters are secured by setting the metrological lock switches to the closed position. It is not possible to change the position of the metrological lock switch without breaking a seal.

The metrological hardware lock status of the meter can be verified on the local display. When the meter switch is locked a close padlock symbol （ ）is displayed on the top left of the local display.

• The ultrasonic transducers are sealed on the outside of the metallic jacketing after insulation of the measuring device. Alternatively, without insulation the ultrasonic transducers are sealed at their covers.

Conditions for conformity assessment

• Before taken into use the measuring device shall be calibrated on the product it is going to measure or on a product with similar properties (density and viscosity) to cover a sufficient Reynolds-number range taking into account the operating range of the measurement system in which the measuring device is used.

• If the measuring device is intended to be used with multiple liquids without adjustments, the measuring device shall be calibrated on all applicable liquids without changing the parameters or it has to be calibrated in a Reynolds-number range covering all these fluids

• It is up to the authorized body to decide if the calibration with a single or multiple liquid(s) covers the process range on which the measuring device is going to be used.

• If a flow computer is used with a correction curve for multiple product applications, the accuracy requirements only have to be met for all products individually.

• The calibration can be performed on site or at a test laboratory. In the latter case the relevant parameter settings have to be registered and checked at the initial verification on site.

• In case the measuring device is used bi-directional, the measurement accuracy shall be determined in both directions.
